Sprout Organic Foods Raspberry Fruity Yogurt Bites

Made without preservatives, artificial flavors and coloring, these yummy yogurt bites mean you don’t have to worry about your growing girl snacking on treats that aren’t good for her body — or her mind. With five handy-dandy packs to a box, these super-portable sweet treats are easy to stash in your tote.

Bumpies say: “When my daughter started on solids, we tried these yogurt bites and she loved them! Now, she’s two and I was worried that she’d want to snack on chips or something unhealthy, but she surprisingly prefers the real mango slices,” says Maya B.*

“I always bring Sprouts with us when we’re going for a walk outside in the stroller or for long car rides. They’re soft enough for my son to chew without me watching and he loves knowing these baggies are ‘just for him,’” Kristin C. says.

Most grown-up snack bars are too much too soon for little kids. These Nibbly Fingers are bite-size organic finger bars with no refined sugar added — just for toddlers! And they come in yummy, palate-pleasing flavors like Cranberry-Acai and Banana-Raisin.

Elaine B. added, “We took these with us on our first trip to Disney World with our toddler. Instead of loading her up with candy bars and fried foods every time she was hungry, we gave her a Nibbly Fingers to snack on instead. She loved them — and they were way cheaper for us!”
